Although high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLCC) is the standard technique for the analysis of most pharmaceutical finished products and raw materials, voltammetric techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry, are rarely used for such analyses....

Dyscalculia, also known as ‘number blindness’ or acalculia is defined as a “cognitive disorder manifested by disturbance of arithmetic ability” (Shalev & Gross-Tsur, 2001, p. 134). It is a disability in which one has difficulty understanding...

Isokinetic exercise; Back exercises; Lifting and carrying -- Back exercises

Identifying optimal strength training programs for increasing lifting capacity is of paramount importance to clinicians attempting to improve function and decrease the risk of low back injuries in their patients. The purpose of this study was to...

Investigation of X-linked histocompatibility may offer an opportunity to find CD and HD minor H haplotype components which are widely separated on the X chromosome. The presence of the HX antigen is detected by placing parental strain grafts onto...

Law enforcement agencies have experienced a steady decline in qualified applicants from which to select and fill vacancies. This study examined police officer perceptions of the recruitment and hiring process. A survey was conducted with 144...

Over fifty years after its introduction into clinical practice, succinylcholine is still the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used in this country today. It is highly favored in the clinical practice of anesthesia because of its rapid...

Physical performance is related to functional disabilities. Better interventions to improve function may be targeted if the determinants of physical performance are understood. We evaluated predictors of performance. The relationship of physical...

Rats that are hypotrichotic (lacking normal hair) due to the autosomal recessive
shorn (shn) mutation showed a low survival rate in brother by sister matings in a breeding
colony of SU/Csu rats. The majority of rats died before weaning. Subsequent...

Students in seven Springfield, Massachusetts Schools receive extra mathematics lessons in Mathematics Laboratories. The period for these lessons comes during the time that classroom teachers receive their preparation periods. By contract language,...

Surface Fitting is useful to researchers in fields from engineering to medicine. The expertise of mathematicians is needed to help with the analysis of data to help the experts in those fields draw appropriate conclusions. The research that this...

The goal of this effort was the design and analysis of multiple composite material tension specimens, which when loaded only with an inplane load, exhibit bend, torsion, and shear extension coupling. The coupling effects distinguish composite...

The mouse frizzy (fr) mutation arose on a genetically mixed background and was first described by G.D. Snell of The Jackson Laboratory in 1951. Mice carrying this recessive mutation have curly vibrissae which can be observed as early as one to two...

The mouse frizzy (fr) mutation is a Mendelian recessive trait that affects hair structure and formation in mice. The mutation arose in a mouse of mixed origin at the Jackson Lab (Bar Harbor, ME) in 1951. Frizzy is known to be linked to other genes...

The pairing and recombination of homologous regions of the X and Y chromosomes, in an area known as the pseudoautosomal region (PAR), has been a phenomenon of interest since its discovery in 1934. Its presence seems to be limited to eutherian...

The traditional definition of retirement and retirement migration is changing in the United States. This change in retirement is being fueled by the baby boomer generation. The retirement market is set to explode as this cohort of over 75 million...

This study attempted to indicate that females and males are judged differently by society when they participate in situations of childcare. The experiment utilized a 2 X 4 factorial design pairing males and females with a male and female protocol...
